Surge 2 [Begun!]

[Alotak]

I'd like to reserve a spot please, expect a sheet from me too.

Spoiler: more is comming

Name: Lux

Appearance: Lux is 23; he stands at 5 foot 11 inches. He has slick black hair, pale skin, and brown eyes. There are razor scars on his right arm; he wears the usual Goth sheik. Boots with big straps, jeans and a jacket which also have plenty of buckles, all black naturally. He wears highly polarised lenses, and carries a sharp cut throat razor at all times.

Powers: The ability to suck the light out of the environments and when he so chooses release it in focused blasts, depending on the strength causing temporary blindness to burning the victim with a similar effect to microwave radiation, to total incineration. It works on a sponge system the more light he absorbs the more powerful he becomes, increasing his speed and agility to superhuman levels. The blasts require him to use some of his absorbed energy.

Bio: Shunned in school and told he was a freak Lux took refuge in the dark, he found friends in the groups of people who were on the outside of the social circle. His power manifested itself when he turned 20; he was alone at home sharpening his cut throat razor. When the light above him faded into darkness, confused he hit the light switch to no effect. Following a check of the fuse box and a quick selection of cloths from his wardrobe he walked outside and noticed the streetlight dimming as he approached. Levelling his hand towards it he willed the light away and out it went, instantly. Lux thought this was a coincidence so he tried it on the next one, then the next one and the next one, returning home he noticed the lights where back on. Realising it was only the light he was absorbing he tried to put some back. The resulting flash blinded the neighbour who was watching him and melted the mailbox he was pointing at in less than a second.
He heard the scream and fled into the night, worried he had killed someone.

Gah, I always regretted not getting into Surge, because I had just had your Mutant/Apocalypse one fail on me. (you know the one I'm talking about). And once again, at the worst possible time, I find myself torn. I've got too much on my plate now.

And, 3Dog, I think you may have dug yourself a hole on this one, because I'm suddenly considering dropping out of the running for that other RP of yours to get in on this one. . . [small]decisions, decisions.[/small]

[sup]Why does it always have to be so hard?[/sup]

[Zepren]

Spoiler: Reginald Silva

Name: Reginald Silva

Age: 18

Appearance : Reginald or "Reggie" as he prefers, Is between 5 and 6ft tall. He's of Jamaican origin but the only evidence of this is his skin colour and his dreadlocked hair. He wears a simple plain combat jacket and combat trousers. The jacket is left open revealing a battered black tank top, to be honest, most of his clothes look this way. He is of a medium build and has a slightly brutish yet gentle face. Sharp green eyes pierce out of his complexion.

Powers: Reggie has the power of Telekinesis. He can control physical objects using his mind (within reason). He can also move himself with his mind. This gives him increased speed and even levitation. This self-telekinesis has many uses and is a skill not many possess.

Bio: Reginald was born into a rich family. He was that kid who had everything he wanted. That was until he lost everything. Both his parents disappeared without a trace. Reginald was to be given a new home with relatives. That was before he disappeared himself. He ran away from what used to be called home. He was only eight.

He began to carve out a life for himself on the streets. He would steal his way along. What was a livelihood for a shopkeeper, was a free meal for Reggie. What he couldn't eat, he sold on. Life was a desperate never ending struggle to survive. Reggie was tested day in and day out. One such test came for him on the eve of his ninth birthday. Two old street dwelling children had chased him through the streets and now down through and alleyway. It was a dead end. No way out. The boys moved in on him. He fell to his knees facing them and sobbed. They laughed at him as they drew nearer.

There's no hope He thought to himself in the darkness. Why can't the walls just fall in on them, on me? He pressed his head against the sold hard ground. fall in...

He passed out.

He awoke moments later to a hub of confusion. The two buildings either side of him had partially collapsed. The two boys were buried under the rubble.

Did I do that? He thought to himself, he got scared and ran.

Not long after he discovered them, he started to use his powers to survive. Stealing was easier when the objects floated right out of the store directly to you. By the time he was 18, he was profound at using his powers. Still on the streets, but not doing as bad as most, Reggie was a master in Telekinesis.

Bit rough but i will deepen it abit, whatcha think?

Spoiler: Nathan Andrews

Name: Nathan Andrews

Appearance: Physical: 29, Male, short spiked brown hair, brown eyes, stands around 6'5'', his face is 'sharp' (Pointed nose, narrowed jaw and chin), he has some muscle, but is by no means bulky. He has scars from the car crash he and his wife were in, on his chin, shoulders, chest, back and legs. His overall demeanour is that of your average adult.

Clothing: He normally wears a gray trench coat, white shirt, dark sunglasses (Depending on weather conditions), black pants and black shoes. He also wears a cracked gold wrist watch and white gold diamond studded wedding ring.

Psychological: Sociopath tendencies, social, prone to angry outbursts, attempt at a good nature, follows own morale code

Powers: Puppeteer: From each of Nathan's fingers, an invisible 'Spirit String' can shoot out and latch onto a person, allowing him to ether take control of them. The strings have unlimited range (when attached to the host), however the farther away the person is, the greater the chance that they will break free. The Strings go in through the back of the neck, and wrap around the brain. Once a connection with the host is broken, he cannot use that string again for 24 hours.

The Host: When attached to a Spirit String, the victim becomes a host to that string. Nathan has the ability to do anything he wants to them, include allowing them to go on with their lives without him even knowing they've been infected. He can pull them to him at a rapid pace, whip them about, use them as shields, etc. He can even look through the eyes of a Host, but this leaves him unaware of his own surroundings.

Steel String Master: The Strings can turn solid and become sharp enough to slice through metal. These are called Steel Strings. However, the strings cannot go straight from Spirit to Steel, and must be retracted for 24 hours for the transformation to be complete.

Bio: Nathan Andrews had been living the good life. He was had a job as chief editor for his town paper and married a beautiful women named Amanda who was a preschool teacher. They both loved each other very much, and Nathan would even come in on some days and do puppet shows for the kids, which was a special talent of his. When he and his wife found out they were soon to be parents, they decided to move to the big city, in order to give their child more opportunities in terms of school, sports, etc.

On their drive out of the town, they were hit by a group of drunken teenagers. Amanda was killed on impact and Nathan just managed to survive. The young man driving the truck was let off the hook, as the mayor was his father and instead dropped Nathan a check instead for $500,000. This ended up barely covering for Nathan's medical bills and the rest he spent of lawyers in court, only to have the case dropped again.

Something inside Nathan finally snapped and that's when he discovered his ability. He found that he could control people like the puppets he so often used and if needed could turn the strings to terrible weapons. The night he awakened his powers he went on a rampage, taking control of the mayor's son, making him kill his mother, his father (The mayor), his friends and almost the town sheriff before the young man was finally gunned down. Nathan left town soon after, living a life on the road, the hole in his heart where Amanda once was, still empty. He travels in hopes of finding something to believe in again.

Other: His Spirit Strings can't work on powered peoples

 

[Nukey]

Hey, did anyone PM Grimheart about this? We need to get him in here, for Christ sake, the only RP on the site he ever took part in was the first.

Also...

Spoiler: Damien DeLorette

Name: Damien 'Shift' DeLorette

...Why go on?

Appearance: Damien's power keeps him from having any fixed form, allowing him to change to whatever he prefers at the time. In times of extreme feeling or pressure his form will change regardless of his own will.

His usual form, standing at 6 foot 2, is that of a handsome 23 year old (though he could chronologically be anywhere from 10 to 110), his eyes and hair obscured by his hood. His clothes are usually rather bland blends of black and white though he does like to change his 'clothing' often to keep himself from being identified at a glance. Normally he has a white hooded top, with a strange tribal symbol [http://www.tribalshapes.com/img/tattoos/negatively-even.gif] on it's front, a set of black pants with a tied knot in the belt and some simple white trainers, grey decorations adorning the soles and heel.

But expect this to change. He's a sadistic little shit who will disguise every insecurity and exploit every fear, all just to pick at you and mess with your mind.

Hope is dead.

Powers: Damien's power is complex, but can be basically summed up as shapeshifting. His power allows the reconstruction and reorganisation of his form, meaning he can alter who he is at command, create weaponry and utensils from nothing but his own body, reform dead or dying cells almost instantaneously and, perhaps most disturbingly of all, absorb organic lifeforms and compounds into himself to reform missing limbs or to simply increase his mass.

All of these make up his power, creating what is an almost unkillable maniac who is characterised by being as sneaky and underhanded as he is dangerous.

You are all beyond redemption.

Bio: How does one become a murderer? What thoughts occur to make one stop seeing life as something of amazing value and instead as a mundane object to be abused and discarded?

How? You suddenly realise that the entire system has been flipped. Everything, due to a screw up of cosmic proportions, has finally gone in your favour, and those who used to treat you as nothing are now ripe for their comeuppance. You're stuck in a go-nowhere job with a group of do-nothing coworkers and a get-nothing paycheck, and then one too many things go right in a row.

You are given power. And it corrupts. Corrupts the mind and the body. That is your 'how'.

Damien's power first began to manifest during the crisis 6 months ago, he was one of the many supers who went mad with power that day. The difference between they and he? He survived. He killed them, outlasted them, destroyed those who were all around him, and came out of the other side, powers intact. And he found the experience amazing, to say the least.

The aftermath, the pure ecstasy as he felt each dying super merge into his consciousness, hearing their every agony-filled and tormented scream, even after their deaths. It all exhilarated him and fueled his sick passion, he traveled to hear the screams again and again. He wanted to watch people descend to nothingness and fall away from their 'self', instead becoming a part of what he thought was something much greater. Him. That is his corrupted ends, his twisted means, the reason for his entire perverted existence. To wipe away the scourge that is 'them' and leave only 'him.'

All that will remain is him.

Damien...where have I head heard that name before? *Rubs chin*.

[sup]*Cough* Xero's character from the first *Cough*[/sup]

 

[WolfThomas]

Oh boy a superhero RP just as I'm about to start my 3rd and probably most grueling year of university so far. I've got a character I wrote awhile back, but he's got more of a silver age vibe that I think might be out of place. I'll probably not bother, I have enough games and schoolwork to do as it is.

Good luck though guys!

Prepare thine looking sockets

Spoiler: TA-DA

Name: Mike Blackwood

Appearance: Mike is 5'8", thin, and pale. He has mid-long brown hair that looks like it hadn't been brushed or combed in months and wears a blue track suit with a white strip going down either side of the seams and covered in small holes.

Powers: One of Newton's laws dictate that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction, Mike's powers take that one step further. He has what's been dubbed the voodoo doll effect, when he experiences pain everyone in his general area, or just one person, feel it too and it has a nasty habit of switching between the two. He often will injure himself on purpose and oddly enough he never bleeds out, or at all for that matter. It seems that his power is mental almost like a psychic so it's safe to assume that he is either actively or subconsciously creating "invisible" blood vessels to keep from killing himself.

Bio: Mike had never really been right in the head, he was fully enveloped in nihilistic delusions his whole life, no one and nothing around him mattered or existed he didn't even exist so what was the point of anything? He never made it past first grade for the short time he was in school since he was pulled out and sent to a psych ward. Doctors tried every treatment they could think of but nothing brought Mike any where near their definition of normal, so they settled with putting him in a padded room so he couldn't hurt anyone including himself. Then the day came when his powers where discovered, he had managed to pull off some of the padding and some how got one of the nails loose, a nurse came in to give him his lunch right about the time he was driving the nail into his leg and she felt it. The doctors where baffled as to why this phenomenon was happening or how it worked or anything about it, but due to laws they couldn't perform any tests and had to put Mike back in his padded room but this time with a straight jacket. When all hell broke loose in the city the ward got hit and Mike managed to get out and he started to find that his power's were, well fun something he could never remember experiencing. If nothing mattered or existed why couldn't have his fun with his power? Anyone who's seen him before is terrified of him and anyone who meets him usually ends up fleeing in absolute horror. Because of his mental state no one, not even himself, is sure whether he controls his power or if it controls him.

Quote: "If I'm real then why can't I FEEL THIS!" Said while stabbing himself with a 7" nail

I figured him being in the city would be a pretty good reason why he isn't still in a psych ward

I like this one too. just make sure you don't go overboard. While yours is defintely one of the ones i find most interesting, it also has the greatest chance for unwanted char. control and god mod.

Good luck to you both!

[Yorgmiester]

I updated the history and personality of Ryan (well, mostly just the history. There wasn't much to say about his personalty). Those of you who were not part of Surge one might want to read it, as it may explain some things later on. Maybe.
